Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[Schnee117]

I just have one question, by that same logic.

It'd be there if AGDQ weren't bias towards DC.

 

[ChikoLad]

I want to say that's intentional, though I haven't actually watched that show. I do know however that other shows by that studio - FLCL, Paranoia Agent, etc. - also use this art style from time to time, especially either for dramatic moments or when there's a lot of action going on.

I'm going to wager the intent is the former, particularly due to the awkward perspectives. It's switching between view-from-a-mouse (induces fear of being crushed) and an out-of-body, vertigo-inducing top-down view from higher than the ceiling should be.

Thing is, it's like this for the whole episode almost, no matter what is going on. There are even shots of otherwise detailed furniture and objects being curved for no reason. So I really do think it was just a budget thing. This isn't something that happens much if at all throughout the show, it's just this one episode that is like this.

Man...
I'm not gonna be able to stay up for the Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? run.
ESPECIALLY since it's the Hell's Finest run.
For those who don't know....
It's a spin-off action platformer for the Disgaea series, using the "goomba" of the series as the protagonist. You're terribly underpowered BY DESIGN.
Hell's Finest Difficulty? Anything so much as sneezes on you and you are dead.
1000 Lives. 10 Stages.
Do you think you're a bad enough dood to save the Netherworld?

It's still a madman's challenge to do the full game on Hell's Finest.
And I love it.

Edit: I just wish there were incentives for either the Etna fight or the Tower.

It was a screenshot from Facebook that somebody took and posted to tumblr and I saw that and took the screenshot from that.

It's not that hard to figure out.

I mean, even then, it's still from Facebook
Believe me, I know some page admins and they would rather not be associated with Tumblr in any way

What I meant by my original post was that I saw the image on tumblr, regardless of where it originally came from, and posted it here from there, because I wanted to share it and thought it was funny.

There is really no need to nitpick that just because "eeww tambler". I had enough of that carry on with the whole Corrin fiasco.

 

[Deleted member]

This has come to my attention
Fitting how I had just complained about it having no news last night
It's probably gonna get released this year... in Japan...

Smash Bros. itself - the truth behind the "Smash 6" job listing is revealed somehow.

Personally I always thought this was for the DLC.

 

[Z25]

Personally I always thought this was for the DLC.

It could have been, but why hire new people?

I think for DLC they kept everyone or they sent some people off the team, and made it smaller.

Could be wrong though.

To give the old team some time off? I have no idea.

It doesn't make sense to me for there it to be a "Smash 6" so soon either.

I mean they relieve some people.( they can finally go back to their families after 4 years lol)

They probably didn't need a fullforce for DLC, and since people already believe that DLC worked on limited budget, they probably didn't keep the full team as that will raise expenses.

If I had to guess it could be for Smash NX as some people think. Maybe they wanted to increase the team for that one, so everything could be ported? And maybe to help add new features easier.

The way you say it makes it look like they were in the war

Lol with how speculation and reactions to this game were, that might just have been the case lol.

"The Great Super Smash Bros War"

The long( and not wanted) awaited sequel to Subspace Emissary.

[ChikoLad]

I just got two games on Steam as a somewhat late presents from a friend, To The Moon and Dust: An Elysian Tail.

I've had my eye on Dust so I look forward to that. Never heard of To The Moon but my friend loves it apparently and it's sort of a visual novel type thing...which is actually perfect since I am coming down with the flu and I like playing that kind of thing when I'm sick.

Well whatever it is, I kinda doubt it's for a new game so soon.

Smash 4 NX could be it, but it feels very un-Sakurai (feels very Namco though >~>)

If it's an expanded port as many speculate it would feel more Capcom to me. just don't pull a stunt like MvC3 did with its DLC I will never not be salty over that...and to be fair it's more Marvel's fault in that case

Namco's just as guilty of doing it too.

Especially with Tales games lately (Vesperia getting an updated PS3 version like a year later, Graces getting the PS3 exclusive f version, Xillia 2 arguably counts since Xillia 1 was unfinished, Zestiria got Day 1 DLC story chapter)

I was talking in a sense of fighting games, Namco's expanded ports are mostly RPGs as you noted (Square Enix does it too)

Speaking of SE, Dissidia 012 (the FF fighting game you all know of) can be considered an expanded and balanced port of vanilla Dissidia

like really tho I'm just so glad Bartz isn't a copy and paste of the other Cosmos Warriors' HP moves in 012 anymore

 

[Pazzo.]

For some odd reason, I can't wait for the Aladdin run.

Probably because I played it a million years ago when I was a young lad.

 

[ChikoLad]

I do think Smash 6 was the DLC since Sakurai considers Smash 3DS and Wii U to be Smash 4 and Smash 5 respectively. The reason for this is to do with the fact that they both had distinctly different developmental processes and they had to approach both versions differently even if they are ultimately just different versions of one game.

The DLC is no different either, they were not developing the DLC with the same sort of tactics as the base game.

 

[Frostwraith]

The fact Sakurai emphasized several times that Smash 3DS/Wii U DLC was new content made after the base game was finished as if it was an exceptional and unique case is rather saddening.

in a way
it's an rpg maker game without any combat or anything
it's not quite a proto-walking sim in the same vein as, say, yume nikki though
a lot of people cry over it

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Has anyone here watched Fear the Walking Dead? What's your thoughts on it? I recently finished halfway last night (mostly because I was tired and **** it lol) and it's really interesting and different than the main series

 

[Z25]

True, I feel like if Smash NX happens, it would be suggested by Namco, and pushed by Nintendo until Sakurai went through with it.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

I have a feeling that if Sakurai agreed to it, he wouldn't actually do any hard work on the game (I.e. Programming), he'd simply oversee the new team hired for it, suggest additional characters/modes and the team would go through with it.

He'll supervise every freaking frame if he's on the project.

B-but

His much needed vacation time tho. ;-;

Honestly if this were to happen id imagine he'd take a maybe four months tops vacation first. He needs it.

 

[Frostwraith]

I just noticed that, besides the Counter and Final Smash, Corrin can fully transform into a dragon through what presumably is his/her up throw.

There's a part in his trailer in which he grabs Ness and then transforms into a dragon and hits him upwards with his horns.

 

[ChikoLad]

I know you're mostly joking, but I suppose this a good enough segue for me to mention that Sakurai did actually play an advisory role on Kirby and the Amazing Mirror IIRC. Air Ride was the last Kirby game he developed full time as director, while he played an advisory role on Amazing Mirror, just sort of overseeing things and offering advice to the team.

So he does have that history of stepping back from a baby franchise and just sort of overseeing things before he leaves entirely. He could easily do it with Smash especially if the next installment does end up being an expanded Smash Wii U/3DS.

 

[powerprotoman]

all i get from #FE is hat the only complaint people have is "ohmaigawdJPOP"
like its not even beating a dead horse anymore hell its not even beating the blood smear that once was the dead horse Its beating the earths crust at the point where the massive hole was formed from people beating the ground where the blood smear of the dead horse was
all im saying its pretty bad when ridley arguments have happened less

im not signaling anyone out or flaming anyone for not likeing it because its focused on jpop

like i get it you wanted a standard crossover but theres a god reason they didnt

they would go through the same plotline as any other crossover
who are you?
who are you?
your diffrent we must fight!
oh look the big bad let us set aside our contrived fighting and take him on
we have defeated the big bad we really arnt so diffrent after all
good bye new friends we will never forget you
*this game is never brought up again ever*"

now that im done venting lets talk about XENOblade

Spoiler: chapter 8 of XenoCross

that first bit was hilarious for 2 reasons
1-refrenceing general squaretache(who in japan has the same name as vandham
2- the first part of the mission where you defend the gate i had to sit and wait for almost all of it because my team litteraly killed every enemy too fast

anyway thes xeno to be bladed so im out for the next few hours

True, I don't think he would start until he takes a long vacation though, which he deserves!

 

[Curious Villager]

Apparently Sakurai is already getting ready for his next project if I understood correctly. Not sure if you guys knew already.

Anyway, will be looking forward to it. ^^

He'll keep working until his arms fall off.

And even then keep working because people don't always need their arms for work anyway.

He would like to enjoy his sundays. But its not like his next job isn't decided yet according to Nintendo Everything. From Famitsu.

That's all I know about it.

[Champ Gold]

It's for the best that Sakurai treated DLC like a new game.


It allows them to be creative and work well with the new cast of fighters, stages and balance patches.


Let's be honest, would any of you guys like it if the DLC content was worked on during prerelease and held back for a later date and all of it was just veterans and maybe 1 newcomer and barely like 1 or 2 stages? No, you'll feel jipped.


He let the original game finish. Saved up a new team for DLC and worked out the Blueprints and deals. I'm kinda sadden that DLC is pretty much over, but at the same relieved that we don't have to deal with misinformation, arguments and overall salt because what Sakurai is doing with Smash doesn't fit our dream vision.


That said, it was a fun ride. Plus, the original roster is still super fun and diverse.

Loads of characters to play as from a lot of different franchises and a few fan favorites.
